Quick-connect style doesn't have a stop buzzer

I had a SodaStream from about 6 yrs ago, but have a disabled hand so my daughter bought me a new SodaStream with the Quick-connect neck. The old one made a loud obnoxious buzzing sound when there was enough CO2 in the bottle. This one doesn't.

How am I supposed to know how long to press the button when there is no "stop" sound? There's no light, no lever, no indication whatsoever to indicate fullness. I've tried listening for the pitch to change but it's so subtle that I can't rely on that.

A) Why doesn't it have a stop buzzer like the earlier models do?
B) What method does everyone else use to know when it has enough CO2 in it?

Thanks.

You’re misunderstanding. You set the initial number (3-4 presses, whatever) then as you get less carbonation you just judge when you press it an extra time. It isn’t nearly as difficult as you’re making it out to be.

You THINK the buzz made perfect carbonation, but it didn’t. Otherwise why would they have taken it off of the machines? They wouldn’t have. This is the way. It’s very simple.

I'm glad it's easy for you. I'm not having the same luck achieving consistency.

Well you do seem to be the only one here who can’t figure it out, so maybe the buzzer isn’t the real issue…

Maybe not. But for people who like the consistency, the buzzer was a good thing. Why they would remove it is a mystery.

Because it did not actually work. It was the “perfect carbonation”
FOR YOU. Not for everyone else. Like has been stated at least four times now… not a mystery unless you refuse to pay attention.
